HER HUSBAND’S BOSS : EPISODE 61 – 70
EPISODE 68
By Mary Ann Adams
CAMILLE’S POV
“Annie!, he asked to meet up” I half yelled as I barged into Annie’s room.
She was on the bed operating her phone. “Huh?” She looked at me confusedly.
“Harry freaking Campbell” I replied breathing heavily.
Anything about him makes me super nervous.
Annie’s plan wasn’t that okay but it was worth the try. She stylishly collected Harry’s number from Chloe and she told me to chat him up anonymously.
I wasn’t even expecting him to reply as I saw Annie’s plan as dumb. But when he replied to my first message, I decided to give the plan a try.
We have been chatting for a week now and I still refused to reveal who I am.
I haven’t met with him in real life for the past one week we have been chatting. I go to work early and comes back late so meeting him was slightly hard.
But we have been chatting like we knew ourselves for a long time and this just this night, he asked for us to meet up.
He wants to see the lady behind the screen.
“Tell him okay” Annie said.
“Wait..what! Are you kidding me!, why would I do that..” I stuttered. I was freaking out and it was pretty obvious.
“Then why did you chat him up in the first place? Isn’t it for this. Just say yes, dress your best and meet up with him. I have a feeling he has feelings for you. Don’t worry, it would be just fine” Annie assured but I wasn’t so sure.
“What if he sees me and then get disappointed or hiss and walk way. Annie! I can’t do this”
“Then stop chatting with him. Forget about him and move on with your life” Annie said dryly.
“But..I love him” I whined sitting on the bed frustratedly.
“Then just do it”
“What if he ask me why I chatted him up?” I asked her.
“Okay. You still have his jacket with you right?” She inquired.
“Yeah?” I nodded.
“You take it along with you and use it as an excuse”
“But…”
“Camille, just go along with it. Trust me okay?”
I just nodded even though I know I can’t do it. I wanted to ask him if he is dating Miranda but I don’t want him to get suspicious and suspect it’s me.
According to Annie, she said he already sees me as a friend. Let me rephrase. He already sees my anonymous as a friend and if I agree to meet up and he knows it is me, he might want to be friends with me for real and I can ask him anything I want.
But..there is a But. Annie used the word “might” which means it isn’t even sure and it is kind of making me not want to do any of this.
I stayed in Annie’s room, on her bed, my hand on my chin. Annie have gone back to her phone, acting like I don’t exist.
I looked back at my phone and the message from Harry.
HARRY- Let’s meet up. Wanna see you.
I sighed and then made to reply.
To Harry- I’m the busy type so I won’t be able to make it. Sorry.
I read my message three times before finally deciding to meet up with him.
“What did you tell him?” Annie looked up from her phone.
“I told him yes” I lied.
“Good” Annie gave me a thumbs up.
I know Annie. She would go behind my back and chat him up.
I had to lie to her. When I’m ready, I would tell him yes.

NEXT DAY….
At the restaurant, it was really busy because it’s noon and workers came for lunch.
I was feeling pressed but I couldn’t use the toilet at the moment not to get in trouble with my boss.
“Manners and some people are just enemies” Hudson said to me as we were collecting people’s orders from the kitchen.
“What is wrong this time around?” I inquired.
“It’s the woman I served last. She’s got anger issues and was taking it out on me. I feel like $trangling her, honestly. I don’t know what’s up with her but she don’t have the right to insult me” he huffed angrily.
“She insulted you? Dmn! The things we face here” I sighed.
“I know, right. If not because I’m working her. I would have given her what she deserves. Nonsense and ingredients!” Hudson spat.
“Just ignore it, okay?” I told him.
“Sure. Sure” he said. “I need to go” he said and collected the tray and left the kitchen.
Working here is really stressful but I got no choice because the pay is good. Some customers are just so so annoying but we can’t talk back at them not stand up for themselves.
Customers are always right,blah blah.
Eissh!, that sucks.
Once we have saved a lot of money, we would quit but that won’t be now. Maybe after a year or so. We should financially stable then. We don’t want to call Mrs Taylor for a help and I hope we never have a reason to. She have done a lot already and going back to meet her would just be greedy of us.
“Phew! She left already..” I heard Hudson voice as he strolled into the kitchen and that was gene I realized I have been standing and thinking all these while.
“The woman?” I asked.
“Yeah”
“So here are the list of tables that haven’t been attended to yet. “ Hudson said handing a paper to me and I nodded and collected it.
I collected the order of Table 5 and left the the kitchen carrying a tray with the food in it.
I glanced at table 6 and saw the back of the man that looked so familiar but I just ignored it.
I proceeded to table 5 and it was just a teenage girl and a guy who I presume to be her boyfriend.
“Thank you” She smiled warmly at me. I smiled back and was about to leave when my phone started ringing.
I dipped my phone into my pocket and brought out my phone. My eyes widened when I saw Harry’s name as the caller ID.
My phone almost fell and I turned my back, expecting the worst and there is Harry seated on table 6, his phone in his hand.
He looked up from his hand and stared at me and then smirked.
Oh God!
“I knew it was you” He finally said. I didn’t know what else happened around me because I went numb immediately.
